No, Philips Isn't Launching A New TV With Built-In Apple Features

The news outlet ran a report
discussing a partnership with Apple and Philips, wording it in a
way that made it sound like Philips was creating a new line of
TVs with Apple TV features built-in. That's not the case.

Philips Electronics' India
division told Business Insider that there was some
misinterpretation regarding the company's announcement. The
company is offering a bundle deal that includes an Apple TV on
select Philips TV models and a three-year warranty.

Here's the ad Philips sent us
detailing the promotion:

The idea of Philips launching a TV with Apple features certainly
would have been surprising. Apple hasn't announced any
partnerships with TV manufacturers, and it usually likes to
remain in control of its products. It doesn't ever really license
out its software either.

Apple has been rumored to release its own television for years,
but we have yet to hear any news on that front. However, KGI
Securities analyst Ming Chi Kuo does predict that a new Apple TV
set top box could launch sometime before the end of the year.
